I installed ICS on my EeePC netbook which seems to get premium treatment all the way around in terms of Android x-86 and even back then when people used netbooks (and still do) to install a hackintosh setup.

It's probably the best hacker supported modern day computer around.

I digress...

It's quite a fun experience and works rather well, however, sometimes the screen will rotate by 90°, although that seems to happen less now than it used to before.Never really looked into that issue as a reboot always helped.

Right now it's my sole OS on my netbook simply because I didn't get GRUB to boot Android AND Ubuntu, so meh.

I can recommend doing it, although many apps are incompatible and hence uninstallable from the Play Store.I have yet to find an easy way to install the translation layer for ARM dependent apps for x86.A site with a tutorial used to have it but the binaries are gone.

Also, I'd love to finally get my hands on 4.1.Might install it now seeing how it's been available for a couple of days now ^^

Oh hey this topic just comes at a perfect timing and I'm amazed that so much progress in that regard^^ Soo let me ask is there any easy way to run a MIUI ROM in a VM other than downloading the Android SDK and having to do tons of things to get it to boot? >.<

Every ROM would basically have to be modified, so unless the MIUI ROM devs provide a x86-PC setup/live image there isn't really a straightforward way.

As for the current ROM, Google pulled the download due to breaking the TOS apparently.

Then I tried booting it as a live image but it stops on a command prompt type terminal :\ thing and I have no clue what to type to continue boot

I tried startx out of desperation and cluelessness but obvioulsly didn't work, any ideas ?

I tried this a while back in Virtualbox and it worked pretty well. On their site, there's a link for a Virtualbox install tutorial, so maybe they want you to use that rather than VMware. It's quite possible the two are incompatable or it doesn't like how VMware handles something. Hope it helps. http://www.android-x...virtualboxhowto
